Party People

It was a special party of a rich personality All big and known names with there I too was invited because I knew a family member Not used to attending big parties, I observed others All ladies dressed in best attire flaunting their beauty Males trying to impress females All trying to demonstrate they are the best Each boasting about how great he is About costly purchases made, his achievements I wondered what are these people trying to achieve Boosting their egos Trying to be number one What will they get by doing that? Real beauty lies within Real achievement is not in spending on self but in helping the needy Isn't humility the greatest of all virtues? A world of lies A life of pretence on borrowed money So much just to impress others Is it not stupidity? Or May be I am different. Date: 12/19/2020 Inspiration : Party folk contest by Julia Ward
